According to Wikipedia, the City Seal started being used c. 2001. The outer ring is filled by a laurel wreath of victory. In the center of the inner area, a shield is placed. A band reading "CITY OF COMPTON Incorporated in 1888" runs across the center. The upper and bottom three sections of the shield each depict a device, symbolic of city services: a faucet for water, caduceus for healthcare, 2 windows and a handshake for working together; a house for residential areas, a torch and open book for education, and finally a nut, probably for public works.

Visible at https://maps.app.goo.gl/75Bdkh35mL2FcNxDA. It is white with the district logo placed upon it, reading its name and having three stars in its outer ring. The inner area is red and depicts an open book with a star, musical note; mathematical and scientific symbols emerging from it.
